— Rauner policies hit during rally held by clergy, union – AP (DIERSEN: Democrats run Illinois, but nevertheless, Democrats blame Republicans for all the problems that Illinois has.)http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160912/news/309129739/— College of DuPage will hold an “Educational and Career Planning” opportunity for individuals adversely affected by the recent ITT Tech closing (DIERSEN: What is/was your career plan? When I graduated from NIU in 1970 when I was 21 years old, its was to get increasingly responsible jobs in the automotive industry. But that all ended abruptly in early 1971. While I was working for Firestone in its Chicago Heights store, I accepted a verbal job offer from Oldsmobile. But when I gave the store manager my 2-week notice, he abruptly fired me. Then, Oldsmobile withdrew its job offer saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Then, unemployed that I was, I accepted a job offer from IRS to be a GS-7 (currently $43,915/year) Revenue Officer.)http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20160912/business/160919773/

Since 2004, they have gone out each and every morning, and since 2015, each and every evening too. They have included links to over 244,650 articles and information on many upcoming events. What do you say to Democrat plants, to Libertarian plants, to Green plants, and to RINOs who read the emails for opposition research and a) do not return my phone calls, b) do not want anyone to first learn of anything by reading the emails, c) do not want me to know about their events or other activities, d) do not want me to promote their events or other activities, e) do not want me to attend their events, f) do not want me to report on their events or other activities, and g) treat me like I am one of Trump’s deplorables?)http://myjournalcourier.com/news/100227/gop-antes-up-in-state-races

The following have contempt for me: those who a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject planks in the Illinois Republican Party platform and work against those like me who support those planks, c) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, d) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, e) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, f) are operatives for the aforesaid, and/or g) are dupes for the aforesaid and those who are anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than their ancestors.)http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/12/hillary-clintons-contempt-for-everyday-americans/— GAO: Obamacare exchanges still vulnerable to fraud Investigators able to sneak fake enrollees by safeguards – Tom Howell Jr.http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/12/gao-obamacare-exchanges-still-vulnerable-fraud/

My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am a racist, a sexist, a bigot, and even worse things because I support the equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) plank in the Republican Party platform.)http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/oreilly-hillary-despicable-racist-trump-voters/2016/09/12/id/747909/— Immigration Windfall: Another $10M for Voter Registration – Tom Fittonhttp://www.newsmax.com/TomFitton/immigration-voter-registration-judicial-watch/2016/09/12/id/747819/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Months after the Obama administration spent $19 million to register new immigrant voters that will likely support Democrats in November, it’s dedicating an additional $10 million in a final push as the presidential election approaches. The money is distributed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency that oversees lawful immigration, to organizations that help enhance pathways to naturalization by offering immigrants free citizenship instruction, English, U.S. history, and civics courses. Officially, they’re known as “citizenship integration grants.” Since 2009 USCIS has doled out $63 million in these grants to prepare more than 156,000 resident immigrants in dozens of states for U.S. citizenship, according to the agency’s figures. Besides the free classes, Uncle Sam also offers immigrants free “naturalization legal services,” the latest USCIS grant announcement states. “Recipient organizations serve both traditional immigrant destinations and new immigrant getaway cities in 21 states,” the USCIS document reads. The latest $10 million investment will prepare approximately 25,000 residents from more than 50 countries, according to the agency. More than a dozen states — including California, New York, Florida, Washington, and Ohio — with large resident immigrant populations are being targeted as well as cities with huge immigrant populations such as Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.)— Theodore the Great: How Trump Channels Teddy Roosevelt – Daniel Ruddyhttp://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/teddy-roosevelt-donald-trump/2016/08/28/id/745522/

— Hillary Clinton has ‘low opinion’ of American people: Donald Trump Trump alleged that Clinton spoke with hatred in her heart for these working class Americans (DIERSEN: Are/were you a “working class American?” I was 1964-1997. My critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes despise if not hate working class Americans like I was 1964-1997. They stress the adverse actions a) that my Democrat GAO superiors took against me including forcing me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old, not promoting me beyond GS-13, keeping me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO, and forcing me to take an $18,459 pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980, b) that my Democrat IRS superiors took against me including not promoting me beyond GS-12, disallowing my education deductions, and disallowing my partial day per diem claims, and c) that my Democrat Post Office superiors took against me including forcing me resign in 1969 and disallowing my sick leave requests.)http://www.business-standard.com/article/international/hillary-clinton-has-low-opinion-of-american-people-donald-trump-116091300376_1.html

Just Look at Mexico’s Peso – Eric Martinhttp://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-09-12/want-to-know-how-trump-s-doing-just-look-at-the-mexican-peso— That Scandal on Your Résumé Will Cost You—Even if It Isn’t Yours If you’re coming from a tainted company, you may get dinged on pay. Here’s how to minimize the damage. – Suzanne Woolley (DIERSEN: What do potential employers think of the employers that you do/did work for? From what I see, virtually all employers despise if not hate my former employer, the federal government. From what I see, the longer that you worked for the federal government, the more that potential employers despise if not hate you. I worked for the federal government for almost 30 years – almost 3 for the Post Office 1966-1969, almost 9 for IRS 1971-1980, and almost 18 for GAO 1980-1997.)http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-13/that-scandal-on-your-r-sum-will-cost-you-even-if-it-isn-t-yours
(FROM THE ARTICLE: You could get dinged on compensation, or even knocked out of contention for a job, by a corporate scandal you had nothing to do with. The Enrons and Worldcoms and Wells Fargos hurt the careers of innocent bystanders. It’s a nasty and persistent reputational ripple effect that can be incredibly hard, and sometimes impossible, to counteract. Wells Fargo & Co., where bank employees tried to meet quotas and earn bonuses by opening sham accounts for customers without their knowledge, is the scandal of the hour. And it is executives in financial services firms that suffer the most from guilt by association, an article in the September Harvard Business Review suggests. Initial compensation at these executives’ next job is about 10 percent lower than for that their untainted counterparts, the authors found. Across industries, job functions, levels of seniority, and regions, executives with such companies on their résumés took a cut of 4 percent in total compensation. Women were dinged 7 percent to men’s 3 percent.)
